Why I'm never going to buy another Honda!!!!
 

When I got married in 2003, I asked my wife for all her repair
receipts for her 1995 Honda Civic. I had mine all filed in my
cabinet, over $10,000 worth for my 1992 car that is NOT a Honda. I
wanted to file hers also, just to be organized. She stated that she
never had her car repaired, so she didn't have any receipts. Of
coarse she did her regular maintenance, however that was done by a
family member, so there were no receipts either. I was shocked. For
the next 3 years until 2006, there still wasn't anything repaired in
her car. (The car was repainted in 2005, however that was only for
cosmetics.) Finally in 2007, the car had her first repair. The
radiator and the distributor cap was replaced. My wife's 12 year old
Honda still only had a few hundred dollar worth of repairs. Her
mileage is low, only 90,000, however, I'm still shocked at the minimal
repairs the car went through.

So the reason I say, that I'M NEVER GOING BY ANOTHER HONDA again isn't
because I don't like Honda's. It's because I don't believe in
replacing something that isn't broken. At the rate this 1995 Honda
Civic is going, it's never going to die.

P.S. There's only one company that makes cars: Honda. The rest only
make prototypes.

Cute.

But just drive a new one, and you may choose to buy it! You think
Honda is just standing still?

I bought my 87 Accord new, and still use it as my beater car. It gets
more use than anything else to tell the truth.

With 120,000 miles, I've had to do a few things, CV axle's, a couple of
timing belts, water pumps and batteries, a clutch, fuel pump, brakes a
few times... did everything myself with the exception of mounting new
tires and a muffler and alignments.

Still runs great! Paint has had it and it now needs an ignition
switch... probably do it later this afternoon/evening.

It still has the original alternator, starter, distributor and cap,
ignition wires, o2 sensor (!) and on and on. Has always passed smog with
flying colors... it's amazing.

Not bad for a 20 year old car. If I recall correctly, the sticker price
was $11,202. I negotiated a set of shop manuals into the deal when I
bought it, and never looked back.

I recall from the early 70s when Honda brought the "revolutionary" CB750 to
the US (before they made cars), a cycle mag decided to see if they could
make it from coast to coast without a breakdown -- a unheard of idea at the
time. They did. Only required a couple of chain adjustments. My first
Honda was a CL77 305 scrambler -- rode it all around Japan. Also, had a
CB750 back then and now cars since the late 80s.

I bought a new Civic in 1973. It was so bad in every respect I vowed to
never own another Honda. Well in 2006 I changed my mind and bought a
Ridgeline. I'm sold on Honda now.
